Introduction and Objective § § Prophylaxis for hemophilia B requires 2 -3 infusions/week. r. FIXFc may require fewer infusions. Compliance may be affected by number of infusions. No head-to-head clinical studies of r. FIXFc and r. FIX have been conducted. Objectives: Ø To indirectly compare the efficacy of r. FIXFc and r. FIX products, using published data. Ø To model the potential impact of improved compliance. 3 r. FIX, recombinant factor IX, r. FIXFc, recombinant factor IX Fc fusion protein.

Study Limitations § This comparison is indirect. § A random-effects meta-analysis approach was used to account for between-study variance. § The effect of changes in compliance are based on the assumption that ABR is correlated to compliance over the range of values reported in clinical trials for patients treated with on-demand or prophylaxis regimens. 8
Conclusions § Based on unadjusted indirect comparison of 6 clinical studies for r. FIXFc and r. FIX products - The efficacy of prophylaxis treatment with once-weekly r. FIXFc is comparable to more frequently infused r. FIX. - Less frequent infusions with r. FIXFc may enhance compliance and consequently effectiveness, as suggested by compliance modeling. - Simulations suggest improvements in compliance of ≥ 9 to 14% with r. FIXFc would yield a statistically significant reduction in mean ABR. § Additional studies are necessary to validate these findings and assess the true impact of r. FIXFc on realworld effectiveness.
